I am I6 years old and almost all of my ancestors were scottish or scots-irish. I would love to learn this beautiful language. It doesn't seem that hard, maybe because I already know some from reading the old books. On my mother's side I have McLannens, Logans and Bruces, on my fathers I have Wallace And Todd as well as some english. Thanks for this site it was fun to look through.

You´re not gonna believe this but I went to a reading in Glasgow. I could understand almost everything, being Swedish, but my Australian friend who was with me had troubles understanding anything at all! This I must follow up! So - I SHALL RETURN!

My grandmother came from Glasgow, my Grandfather from Kircauldy. My father went as a small child to visit his Glasgow uncles with his mother. Caught by the war they stayed a year or two. I thought my grandmother's language the most beautiful sound, and when she and my father got together the Scots would fly back and forth, like a very special music between them. Their humour became more "fundamental" in Scots. Is it in the language or was it in them, I've often wondered. My grandmother (a Mackie) often took me aside as a very young child to teach me some basic sounds and phrases and to remind me to be proud of my Scots heritage, she said it made me special, and I've always believed her. When things get tough I remember her grit. When my grandmother died my father never again uttered a word of the Scots language, and I miss it so. I'm so happy to find your site. Thank you for it. Scots still has the power like nothing else, to make me laugh and cry. I do need your dictionary though. As my father would say, Here's tae us, wha's like us.
